The US based taxi firm will be offering citizens of Bengaluru their own carpooling service. Customers can pick up others opting for a similar route and can split their fare with this new service.

Currently Meru Cabs, BlaBlaCar, Tripda and Ridingo all offer carpooling facility in India. UberPool will compete with these services and is expected to provide more saving to those using this facility.

Bhavik Rathod, GM, Uber, Bengaluru, expressed, "We'll be launching UberPool soon in beta in Bangalore, to gain insights from your adoption and usage."
